I finished this yesterday.

It's fire....

To those who may be interested and not familiar with the comic....

Remember the type of attitude that "the Comedian" had in Watchmen?

....the heroes in this series are on that level, but they have actual powers. They are very flawed.

The "heroes" in this series are not cookie cutter "do-gooders".

The most powerful hero is the most malevolent.....dude is colder than absolute zero.

:frozen:

This is my first time viewing an original on Amazon....and will look at others.

The best thing about this show is how optics and politics ruin every righteous thing on the planet. I hate all the superheroes except for Annie.

The balls of the show runners to have a rape in the first episode.
what rape?

Just finished the finale, dam Lucas Hood killed it as Homelander on this. That ending tho, can't wait for s2. With the tick not getting a s3 and Too old to die young most likely not the type of show to have more than 1 season, I'm glad at least this and Carnival Row will at least have more seasons for me to look forward to next yr. Now time for me to watch this Euphoria and City on a Hill. HBO better execute Watchmen well

Yup. They hit you with he's clean, doesn't drink smoke etc, then slowly showed you how fucked up he was, capping it with the doctor saying he was a mistake. BOOOM!!!!!!!

I've only watched the first episode. Apparently they toned it down quite a bit. All the males in the 7 had a turn with Starlight, not just one.

I still can't believe this show exists

Even after Preacher i thought this one was untouchable

There is no damn way they could keep this 100% accurate to the source

Saw only the 1st one last night...

That is as close as you gonna get.

The randomness of Hughie meeting starlight asside?

Well written, cast and acted, good effects.

I'm very curious how they gonna flip this for TV

It exists in this toned-down format. That's what I love about comics. Comics get away with the wildest shit where the big screen (and the little screen) can't.

Wanted? That was a perfect example of this. They toned it way the fuck down.

Another thing for these comic shows in streaming platforms i think 8 eps is the right amount for binge model, those netflix marvel shows being 13 eps dragged out too long for me, i think only the defenders was 8 eps. Loved the cast for this too, Lucas Hood killed it as homelander. I wanna fuck Maeve and Starlight

Very good show
Very realistic as far as things don't work out

Very gritty

By the end Karl urban was revealed to be who he is just a simp

I'm glad he had to see it for himself

Your wife fucked homelander got pregnant had the baby then raised it like fuck you hoe ass white boy


And you on a blood lust for that bitch


Homelander pulled back the curtain on that bullshit

Now sit in it and apologize



Very good season

Mad that black cat had the weakest powers
And had to actively defend his title to be in the 7
That was grade a bullshit

If you mean Black Noir...well, if they keep it like the comic in any fashion, keep watching...you got a helluva surprise coming.

If you mean A-Train, he’s not an original Seven. The team name has way more relevance than just a count of the team. Probably in the 2nd season they’ll start breaking down the heroes...
